Why the panic its only the beginning of December.... I remember the all conquering team of 1982 and when did we announce we had signed Joe Owen and Bobby Beaton?.. Oh yes it was press day... Some people have no patience
These reported 2 year + contracts don't mean a thing.. Didn't Bjarne Pedersen sign one with Birmingham and was out of there practically before the first year had finished and going even further back I remember Tom Owen supposedly signing a "lifetime" contract for Newcastle and he was at Stoke around a year later
